50. Program sound bites or goofy songs as a ringtone in your cell phone.

I don't agree with everything on this list. It would make for a pretty boring guy, but there are a lot that I totally agree with. * photo g00gled, and actually a 12 man beer bong seems quite ingenious for a tailgate party.

As a Man and over the age of 30, I tend to agree with most of the 49 items on this list. There are only 3 on the list I do or have: I do the occasional To-Kill-Ya shots when out having fun, I never change the channel when Pink Floyd comes on the radio (Wish you were Here is on of my favorites), and I do own a Futon that is situated in the fourth bedroom for the person who has one too many shots while having too good of a time. That room is even close enough to the bar where we don't have to carry them up or down any stairs. Now that I know it is on the list, I better go out and purchase a real bed.

#10 made me laugh out loud! Can I use the term as it might just be my new favorite word? :)

Hmmm, I did jello shots last summer during a girls weekend. I agree with the majority. I disagree with Pink Floyd - great music for night time and I think fish are cool.
